Work for an intergovernmental organization; Help the oppressed: (Haiti)

While she was a student, Tammi spent almost a year in Haiti working in the slum Cite Soleil in Port Au Prince, where she learned about the interconnectedness of all people and the need to promote human rights and social justice.

After graduation she worked in home health care. Then she joined the St. Thomas Campus Ministry staff as Social Justice Coordinator, directing the Campus Ministry peace and justice group.

Completing that project in August 1996, she taught in the Model United Nations Program at the American School of Puebla in Puebla, Mexico. She has worked with the poor in Mexico and New York City, primarily with Haitian refugees, and as a fundraising consultant helping grass-roots non-governmental organizations raise funds to support their work. She is also trained and licensed to give therapeutic massage, hoping to help victims of torture overcome their trauma.
